[mod.ai] Legal Reasoning and AI

jims%milo%cvedc%ogcvax@tektronix.tek.com.UUCP (02/26/87)

I came across an announcement regarding A.I. applications for legal
reasoning and a conference in May.  This interests me as I am (one
of the few) who happens to be a law student and a software engineer/
technical writer.  (Engineer/writer by day, student by night).

I have a strong interest in legal research and A.I..  Here at Lewis
& Clark's Northwestern School of Law (Portland, Oregon USA)  a small
group of students is forming with support of administration to continue
research in the areas of computer applications for legal research and
reasoning.  Unfortunately, notwithstanding our proximity to the "Silicon
Forest" here in Oregon, we are somewhat disconnected from the mainstream
activities in this area.

I am interested in learning who else is out there with net access, and
happens to be a law student as well as a technical professional.  Is there
a sub news-group of A.I., or is this news-group appropriate for such an
exchange?
Thanks
